B. Apakah kata ganti nama yang terbaik bagi ‘you’ dalam lagu ini?
What is the best Malay pronoun for ‘you’ in this song?

Saya pilih jawapan itu bagi soalan B sebab ‘awak’ adalah sopan dan tidak biadap dalam komunikasi bahasa Melayu . Lagu ini adalah kira-kira perpecahan tetapi mereka masih boleh menjadi kawan.
(I choose ‘awak’ because it is polite and not rude for Malay communication. Even though this song is about breakup, they still can be friends, so ‘awak’ would be a more appropriate word replacement for you in this song.)

C: Kau, the colloquial way of saying engkau, because it one syllable and thus fits nicely with the tune of the song. Kau is also informal and this song is supposed to be lighthearted and between friends.
